DMC prologue
According to legend, 2000 years ago while snow was falling on a clear, freezing night on Earth, a fierce devil prince was born deep in the darkest pit of the netherworld.

He grew rapidly. Within a short time he gained his full powers and took over the Devil Throne. His first act as ruler of all devils was to declare himself emperor of the Devil Kingdom. His next feat was an invasion of the human world. His plan was to conquer it and rule over both the lower and the upper realms.

But a powerful devil-knight known as Sparda took pity on humans for their brief, transient lives. In fierce battles he defeated all the Devil ruler’s armies and finally imprisoned the emperor himself in a sealed vault.

Having achieved his victory, Sparda abandoned the Devil Kingdom to live in the human world. He married a human woman and soon fathered a half devil, half human son.

But beware, mankind. After 2000 years, the cursed Devil Emperor will be released and will return to invade the human world once again.

Sparda’s son must be our protector!

Informant Enzo Ferino’s Testimony
“Dante? Yeah I know him. Doing this kind of business myself, I seen tons of dangerous guys…but I don’t know anybody as crazy. “First off, he is one skilled dude. I seen him take on a dozen villains with only his strange sword…the one he calls Woozy. He don’t raise an eyebrow, even when a bullet grazes his nose. “Besides, he’s weird. If he don’t like a job, he won’t take it even for a pile of C notes up to the ceiling. But say it’s something bizarre like a ghost hunting or devil purification, he jumps right on it…it don’t matter if there’s a reward or not. “Rumor says blue blood may be flowing in that guy’s body. I tell ya, if he glares at a guy, even the devil may cry.”

DMC2 prologue
In ancient times, a religion arising somewhere east of the Mediterranean Ocean split into many different factions. Its disciples quickly carried it to western Asia, Europe, and North Africa. As time passed, some gods from the various sects were forgotten, others were assimilated into other religions, and still others were shunned as evil

For one reason or another, the gods all but disappeared. What few people continued worshipping them were branded as heretics. The dissenters were forced to turn their backs on their own homelands in order to continue in their beliefs.

Venturing farther and farther away, the outcasts eventually found themselves adrift in an unknown land floating on the outskirts of the New World. This was Dumary Island.

Hordes of refugees of different races, beliefs and languages crossed over to the island. The first to arrive followed the sea routs of the old Viking explorers, around the North Pole and through the Pacific Ocean. Following them came runaway slaves seeking sanctuary.

The newcomers all had a single common point – belief in a pagan religion. Tribes that had historically skirmished over old differences running deep in their cultures now lived together peaceably on the same island.

As the generations passed, the former strangers blended together into a single people. Their mix of different languages, ethnic customs and various gods gave birth to new, totally unique religions.

The gods worshiped by the new blend of people were an ancient family of beings inhabiting a different dimension. They wielded strange powers and existed outside the concepts of right and wrong. Deities that were considered evil or pagan in the world world were, on Dumary Island, simply thought of as “other gods” – there were far too many of them to count. Rites performed in honor of these idols often resembled exorcisms and demon sealing ceremonies.

The priests of these cults were known as “guardians” and were sometimes called upon to protect the gods and their worshipers. Many were the legends of guardians who had borrowed the power of their own gods to defeat enemy gods. One recent tale, only a few hundred years old, told of a great swordsman appearing from “the outside” to aid in exorcising the most evil god of all time.

Over the centuries, Dumary Island’s success in supporting the worship of unique religions while maintaining its existence out of the mainstream has been nothing short of miraculous. Lately, however, agents of international corporations have quietly begun infiltrating the island. Their purpose is to acquire the “special ores” discovered in the island’s interior.

On Dumary Island, the people’s simple religious piety, as well as the fabulous artifacts buried in the inner mountains, are now in great danger…

Dante (DMC)
Dante is a freelance underground mercenary in modern America. But his secrete persona is even more extraordinary! He slays bloodthirsty devils from the depths of burning hell with his huge sword and dual-wielded handguns. Even a devil may cry begging for Dante’s mercy.

Dante: Ultimate Devil Hunter (DMC2)
This trash-talking, cool-as-ice demon slayer attacks using both his longsword and his trusty revolvers. Possessing both street smarts and the strength of even the strongest demons, Dante can jump long distances, perform acrobatic double jumps and bound off walls to get where he needs to go.

Trish (DMC)
Trish is a hauntingly beautiful woman who invites Dante to Mallet Island, gateway to the devil world. She possesses supernatural powers and vast knowledge about devils. It is said she knows Dante’s secret history. But what is her true identity and purpose?

Marionette
As the name suggests, these enemies are controlled by the power of the devil's impure strings. At a glance, they seem slow, weak and easy to fight. However, beware the evil trap. Once Marionettes see their prey, they attack with their sword and scimitar nimbly and accurately. They sometimes throw their weapons at distant enemies. Some may already be armed with projectiles when you meet them.

Sin Scissors / Sin Scythe
Their appearance – floating in midair in long black cloaks, wielding a huge scythe or scissors – may remind one of the Grim Reaper. However, the Grim Reaper harvests only dead human's souls. These devils decapitate humans while they're still alive! When confronting them, aim at their masks. It is useless to attack their bodies, arms or legs.

Shadow
Resembling beasts of the cat family, Shadows can move extremely fast and baffle their opponents. However, that is not the only weapon in these cunning devils’ arsenal. They sometimes change their body shape dramatically to finish off their prey. In fact, they are shapeless evil spirits with no substance. They enter the human world by wrapping their spirits with black magic. Sword attacks won’t work against them, but projectile attacks will.

Nelo Angelo
Since many of the greater devils appearing in literature used to be greater angels, it is not surprising that this black knight is called Nelo Angelo, the “black angel”. It is said that he fights his enemy fairly and squarely, a rarity in a warrior from hell. If he is truly a practitioner of chivalry, why does he follow the dark power?

Phantom
As far as we know, the biggest threat of the Dark Army is the Phantom. It resembles a spider, but its body is as gargantuan as an elephant’s and its shell harder than a rock. Its blood, when shed, is made of scorching lava reminiscent of the flaming rivers of hell. This monster often leaves a trail of fire as it walks. Phantom may be one of the highest-ranking generals in the Devil Kingdom, but since no one has ever returned to tell tales, even more powerful devils could exist there.

Lucia: Bears a terrible secret
Lithe, quick and agile, this mysterious, sexy demon fighter will prove that she is a formidable foe. Her first weapons of choice are two ornately crafted curved daggers for attacks of the up-close and personal nature. She moves like a cat and uses her throwing knives for long-range attacks. When cornered, Lucia will execute her stunning triple wall jump.
